January 30, 2025#12047 AI - Fr. Tad Pacholczyk
Questions Covered:
30:17 – In light of the new Vatican document, is it sinful to hold an anti-AI position? I don’t think we can practically use AI well.
34:10 – In another country (Switzerland), are they doing A.I. confession? Is this possible? What are the repercussions of this if true?
36:41 – Is the Vatican / Catholic Church open to inputting the Archives into A.I.?
46:50 – I think A.I. is great for making my life a bit easier (opinion/comment, not question).
49:29 – I was praying with the rosary with Archbishop Fulton Sheen on YT, but something didn’t feel right (I remember him live); it turned out to be an A.I. generated voice. Is it okay to pray with A.I. generated resources?
51:54 – I heard that God created man and Satan created A.I. because Satan can only copy God’s power; is this logical?

January 29, 2025#12044 Why Don’t You Think Catholicism Makes Sense? - Karlo Broussard
Questions Covered:
13:52 – It doesn’t make sense to me why some people hear God in their prayers and others don’t?
19:38 – How is it that Protestants seem to experience the fruits of the faith, but without the sacrifices that Catholics do?
30:01 – As Catholics, we agree that we’ll probably be in Purgatory before going to Heaven. The Bible says that Jesus at the Second Coming will take everyone with him. Does that mean they’ll skip out on Purgatory?
35:33 – A Protestant friend wonders if we’re defecating or disgracing the Eucharist when we receive it?
43:00 – I want to know how does Dr. Broussard decides when his interpretation of scripture is a maybe/what if and how does he know when God’s Will is definitive?

January 28, 2025#12043 Why Don’t You Think Catholicism Makes Sense? - Karlo Broussard
Questions Covered:
05:53 – Catholic, married Methodist. He has a divorce; they have a civil marriage. I’m told I need to get an annulment. Why is this?
12:20 – I’m not Catholic; why does the Catholic church believe/profess the doctrine of Transubstantiation?
20:11 – I come across a lot of Protestants who have trouble with perpetual virginity of Mary. Who is James (“brother of Jesus”) in Gal 1:19; is he one of the 12 apostles?
29:40 – Is the celebration of the Eucharist/the Real Presence greater than the miracle of the Last Supper?
33:58 – It doesn’t make sense to me that John the Baptist is described as “the spirit of Elijah’, whereas the prophecy makes it seem as if Elijah was to come back?
41:19 – I’m Catholic, but I’m interested in Orthodoxy. Some of their claims seem to have weight. How can the Church change its position on topics?
47:37 – Where do we get the idea/doctrine of indulgences?

17:00 – Why do we presume a valid Baptism for Protestants coming into the Catholic church?
21:37 – What is Opus Dei?

47: 52 – Where did the practice of folding hands or interlocking fingers come from?

23:26 – How can you tell the difference between a demonic manifestation and a soul in purgatory who needs prayers?

24:58 – Is it true that in biblical days women who gave birth to boys had to be secluded for 30 days and if they had girls it would be 60 days?
31:46 – Sola scriptura is very defendable from scripture. It was Jesus’s primary gripe with the Pharisees. Almost every conversation He had with them was directly condemning any source other than scripture.
34:05 – What are the differences in biblical canons for the Catholics and Orthodox?
36:37 – I go to an evangelical school. My teacher said that Jesus couldn’t have instituted the eucharist at the last supper because it would go against the Deutero laws and Levitical laws. How do I respond to that?

January 24, 2025#12038 Questions from Non-Catholics - Tim Staples
Questions Covered:
05:49 – I’ve heard there’s 7 Sacraments. Two are mutually exclusive (Matrimony & Holy Orders). If a Catholic Man is unmarried/not ordained religious and receives the other 5 Sacraments, is he missing something/less than others who are married/ordained?
15:21 – When talking to Tom earlier, you left on a cliffhanger. Where in the Bible does it say you should be Catholic?
37:41 – As a non-Catholic, can I go to Confession?
44:02 – Is there a connection between Classical Liberalism / democracy (differing ideas in society) and Protestantism (having differences in faith in the “Church”)?
